The 30 for 30 Campaign is dedicated to ensuring that the unique needs of women living with and affected by HIV, including transgender women, are addressed in the national HIV response. Expand and expedite the provision of women-centered supportive services and housing services for women living with and affected by HIV. Linking and retaining women in HIV care requires supportive services such as ad
equate transportation assistance, childcare options, nutritional adequacy, assurance of transgender-competent care and services, case management, and peer support services to guide and support women’s efforts to obtain HIV testing, medical and social services. Access to stable housing is an evidence-based HIV prevention strategy, as well as an essential component of effective, sustained medical care.
2. Relevant agencies must work to integrate service delivery and provider training in the three health care delivery areas of greatest importance to women living with or affected by HIV: 1) HIV prevention, treatment and care; 2) s*xual and reproductive health services; and 3) intimate partner violence prevention and counseling.
3. Produce better data and more targeted research to identify and address women’s needs. Women-controlled prevention tools must be developed and made available. Available data on service and treatment delivery is rarely disaggregated by s*x or gender, making it impossible to accurately quantify existing gaps in services and their impact on women and girls, including transgender women and girls. As yet there are no women-controlled prevention tools available. Male condoms aren’t enough and female condoms cannot be used without a partner’s knowledge and consent. Women urgently need expanded investment in and research into current and future HIV prevention tools including female condoms, Treatment as Prevention (TasP), Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), microbicides and a better understanding of the impact of hormonal contraception use on HIV risk.
